hum, woke up today

think i'll paint the gate

whitewash the gate

it is an artistic gate

applied on top of fence

to appear to go beyond the

back yard

into a magical garden

 half way there

 might need another coat

have to see when it ages

a secret garden

indeed

time for lunch

my favorite herb

old fashion rose geranium

it is getting harder & harder to find

i first fell in love with this herb at

the HillTop Herb Farm

in Cleveland, TX

most wonderful place

i've ever eaten

my favorite pound cake

Rose Geranium Pound Cake

from

Madeline Hill's

Southern Herb Growning

what a dear lady

with her daughter

Gwen Barclay

i love herbs

i can't wait

to fly these

~~~~~~

we are a military family

navy & army

this mother's heart is proud - always

prayerfully concerned - often

missing them & theirs - everyday

thank you for joining us

with your prayers as they

continue to deploy, move,

sacrifice for our country

please don't ask me

"when can they get out?"

they don't want out

it is their career of which

they are highly trained &

specialized & dedicated

to keeping us safe

May God Bless America

&

keep our military safe

& give their families

the strength & courage

they need as they, too, serve

pretty in pink

we are always

the same age

on the inside
